TRENTON NJ, October 20, 2017: In a news release titled “Persistent Waste, Abuse at NJSPCA,” the State Commission of Investigation says “One of New Jersey’s leading humane organizations remains incapable of adequately fulfilling its core mission – enforcing the State’s animal cruelty laws.”
The release goes on to detail that “the NJSPCA fails to consistently respond to
animal cruelty complaints in a timely manner, spends exorbitant sums on legal billings rather than for direct animal care and remains a haven for “wannabe” cops – some of whom believe they are free to exercise police powers beyond enforcement of the animal cruelty statutes.”

All we can hope for is that the new Governor, whomever he or she is, will actually act on this scathing report and implement its recommendations. Shame on him or her if they don’t.
Here’s just a smattering of the extensive media coverage:
